IMPROVEMENT IN FIRE-PLACESFv .Qtln fitlgetult rcftmh in in flgtse Zitttters new amt uniting part at tige same.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that we, German Hnnnrs and PAUL W. ZoINnn, both of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stoves and Grates; and we hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification.

This is an improvement in the class of heating-stoves and fire-places provided with an opening on one side towards the room or apartment to be warmed, and consists in the provision of an interior fire-pot, having a recessed crown or dome so arranged as to perform the d'ouble ofiice of consuming the smoke and of reflecting radiant heat into the room.

Fignre is a longitudinal section of a stove embodying our invention.

Figure 2 is a front elevation of the stove, a portion of the case being broken away.

Figure 3 is a horizontal section at the line 2: 2:. W I I The outer shell or case A maybe either of caster sheet-iron, and have the represented oval form. Cen Emily, or nearly so, within this shell, we suspend or-support a fire-pot B, of cast iron or tile, having a grated front, C, and a coneave back, D, which is surmounted by a recessed crown. or dome, E, which intercepts the direct exit of the smoke into the chimney at the sides and back, and compels it, after reverberating within the concavity of the crown, to seek the front thereof, whence it escapes into the fine. The annular space F around the fire-pot, and Within the case, serves as a reservoir of heat, and preventsthe undue heating of the surrounding air.

We claim herein as new, and of our invention i The arrangement in a shell or case A, open in front, of the interior fire-pot 13, having" a grated front, 0, and recessed crown E, closed rearward'ancl laterally, and open in front, substantially n-ssetforth.

In testimony of which invention we hereunto set our hands. i J v C. HARRIS, P. W. ZOINE'B,
